Project
The New Historia is a gathering place for new knowledge being recovered by and about women who came before us. Together with our community, we celebrate the richness of the female past that is our shared legacy. We seek ways to make this emerging history of use to girls and women who continue to confront the misogyny that is woven into our private and public lives. The New Historia website is a collaborative community of knowers, learners, makers, and doers. We envision our website as a digital “loom room” like those of the past, and in many places still operating today, where women created the material stuff of civilization and, in the process, interacted, learned together, and produced technical and aesthetic advances that continue to influence our lives today. Loom rooms have always been sites of women’s education, socialization, and innovation. Like historical loom rooms, ours is a laboratory in which we gather and process new evidence produced by the exuberant global project of feminist historical recovery.
